2 Claims.

formed by absorbing substances enclosed in envelopes of pervious material.

One object of this invention is to provide a package which permits the storage and handling of liquid or pasty preparations in a special hygienic manner, without soiling the hand of the user.

`. Another object is to construct the elements of the package so that the single parts are interchangeable and lit tightly together and furthermore that they can be produced on a large scale and have a pleasing appearance.

A further object is to provide securing means for attaching the substances absorbing the preparationvto the distributor, whichmeans are easily detachable and of a material resistant to chemical and mechanical actions.

Fig. l shows a tcp view of the package with the cover removed and the iilter partly broken away.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional View of the package taken on line 2 2 of Figure 1.

Fig. 3 is an elevational View of an assembly of all parts separated from each other and with the cover closed.

Fig. 4. is a top plan View of a modified form of package according to Fig. 5.

Fig. 5 is a substantially longitudinal sectional View taken on line 5 5 of Fig. 4, showing assembly of the elements.

Figs. 6 and 7 are perspective views of two different types of means for fastening the pervious cover of the distributor of the package.

With reference to the drawing, especially Figs. l, 2, 3, l denotes the filling vessel for the products of the skin treatment. It consists of liquidproof material, such as gallalith, plastics, glass, metal, impregnated Wood and paper, etc. The filling vessel has a cylindrical wall 2, which on its outer surface has screw windings 3. The filling vessel contracts towards its lower part and has a groove l around its circular circumference. Adjacent to the groove is the bottom 5, which has apertures 6 of convenient size. In the package type, shown in 1, the apertures are rectangular; but they can be also made round.

The cover 8, l0 of the filling vessel can be screwed onto the wall 2. The cover consists of a plate 9 and a flange l0. The ange has a thread l i on the inside, which fits to the thread 3.

Above the bottom 5 of the nlling vessel l is arranged a removable filter l5. The filter consists of a woven wire fabric or a perforated disc.

A ring-shaped projection IB is arranged on the inside of the filling vessel 2 and prevents a downward dislocation of the filter disc l5.

The cover plate 9 has on its inside a seat I8 of annular shape; At-some distance from the seat I8 annular projection i9 is arranged on the flange l0. On the seat I8 a removable washer is located. Thewasher consists of a ring, which can be pressed `down on the seat over the projection i9 and 'will remain secured in this position. Y Y

Into the filling vessel, liquid and pasty material can be introduced (such` asspecial oils for quick tanning of the skin through exposure to the sunwith simultaneous skin protection, cosmetic creams, toilet water, etc.) from' the usual type of bottles,'containers, etc. -v 'Underneath the lfilling vessel l is arranged a distributor 3B, 3l which is connected to. the fillingvessel.y The distributor is formed by an envelopellofpervious.material andthe outer surface of the bottom 5 of the filling vessel. 'Ihe envelope 3U consists of a loose pervious textile fabric such as velvet, etc. The envelope can also be made of perforated rubber fabric. The space between the envelope and the bottom 5 is filled with a suitable material 3|, capable of absorbing liquid products for the treatment of the skin. In the type of package illustrated in Fig. 2, the material 3! consists of fibres of vegetable or animal origin.

The envelope is placed with its borders in the groove 4 in which it is interchangeable attached by an annular spiral spring 59 (Fig. 6). The ends of the spiral are formed, respectively with a hook 5l and an eye 52.

A further element of the package is the standing receptacle 35. It has a cylindrical wall 36, a bottom a and an annular flange 31. The upper part of the standing receptacle has an enlarged aperture 38. On the inner surface of the aperture 38 are arranged three ribs 38. By means of the ribs 3Q the iilling vessel is pinched in the standing container 35. The lower edge of the cover 9 of the filling vessel has its seat upon the wall di of the aperture 38 of the standing vessel. On the outer surface of the bottom of the standing receptacle is arranged a mirror 45, protected by the flange 31.

The typeV of the package illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 has similar construction. l is the filling vessel, 2 the winding of its walls, 4 the groove, 5 the bottom of the lling vessel with apertures 6. The distributor for the products of skin treatment lis also formed of a pervious envelope 30 and the outer surface of the bottom of the filling vessel. 3l denotes the absorbing material for liquid products for skin treatment. The envelope 3!) is fixed with means 50 in the groove 4 of the lling vessel and 35 is thestanding receptacle.

The cover of the filling vessel I consists of a plate 6| and a flange B3 provided on the inner surface with threads. The cover plate 6I has an aperture 64. On the cover is arranged a disk 65, which swings around the axes 66. By means of t'his construction it is possible to pour additional products for skin treatment into the lling vessel, without screwing the cover. y

The means for xing the envelope 30' as shown in Fig. '7, consist of a ring of solid material, formed of two parts 12, 13, connected by' joints 10. The end of the ring parts have over-lapping tongues 15, 16, provided with several apertures 11 in which suitable fastening elements may be placed.

The package can be handled as follows:

First the' vessel I y is filled from the usufalV cone tainers with the desired products for' the s kin treatment. Then tlie llin'g vessel is closed.r The treatment liquid passes through the apertures 6 of the bottom 5 into the absorbent material of the distributor. especially satisfactory dis* tributionof the'liq'uidA is obtained by the construetion illustrated in Figs'. 9 and' 13. T ne close'd nlling' receptacle with` Ithe distributor is then put in the standing receptacle and the package is' ready' for use.

Bygnpp'ing the cover 9 of the nlling vessel, the latter can be taken out of .the'standing receptacle without soiling trie; fingers ofi the user'. The skin is smeared with the soft pervious envelope 30, whereby the liquid products for the treatment are distributed in the nest form on the' skin. Any surplus of liquid treatment products which over'- flows the distributor, is retained in the standing receptacle and can therefore' be used. The pene--V trai-,ing of sand etc. is avoided by the provision of filters and the tight ttings of the different parts of the packages. The eiects of the products for the treatment of the skin can be easily observed by the mirror, which is arranged on the bottom of the standing receptacle.

The package can be used for diierent cosmetic and medical methods for t'he treatment of the skin. It is especially advantageous for liquid products for the beauty culture of the skin, such as Oils, toilette waters, shaving liquids, etc. The form of the different containers can be changed. Instead of the cylindric forms, containers of angular and oval forms can be used.

I claim:
